23rd OCTOBER 2024 ~ After going up and down and all around the castle, it was time to explore the old city of Sirmione. It was unfortunately raining which in a way hampered the sightseeing activity.
The old city has become a tourist attraction so you could see many shops and cafes everywhere. If you are an architecture geek, the narrow old streets and Italian brick buildings are the sight to behold.
I guess this place is not in the list of Malaysian travelers as I don't think I met anyone from home while walking around.
We found ourselves on another side of Lake . We were on a different spot of the lake earlier. Sirmione is actually located on a narrow stretch of protruding land on the lake, as shown on the map.
There were actually other places to visit but we would need more time to do that. Furthermore, the weather was not too kind on that day. Other group members spent lesser time here. Most probably, they were still tired of yesterday's journey from Malaysia to Milan [we only managed to check in at the homestay at 4:00 a.m.] and there were families with small children. You would need more than one day to explore the city thoroughly and visit other tourists' spots.
